Holy crap what a piece of trash this show is. You know when you settle in to watch something you know is going to be a disaster, and it just goes so far beyond the level of garbage you expected into some other realm of toxic waste television? That's what I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is. The Bachelorette is trashy. The Hills is garbage. I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is radioactive and should be buried in a drum deep in the desert somewhere. I loved it! I bet I won't feel that way three nights from now when I've overdosed and started glowing in the dark, but for now let's run down the awesomely horrible and just plain horrible moments from last night's premiere, since the terms "good" and "bad" do not apply to deadly nuclear waste, which is of course all "bad." Alert the CDC, I'm makin' a list! -- Patti Blagojevich floating down the river, with Janice and John Salley standing around ordering Heidi of all people to help her.
-- Spencer's speech about how he wants to always be the villain because one time the Academy Awards honored the recently deceased actor who portrayed the villain in The Dark Knight, so that means being evil is always something to be striven for in your real, non-fictional life. That guy. Professor Logic over there.
-- Sanjaya's new hair.
-- Speidi falling out of their hammock in the middle of the night.
-- The first time Speidi fake quit, Spencer's rant to NBC exec Ben Silverman about how he's far too rich and famous to be outside in the jungle with people he had to Google.
-- Why is Sanjaya kind of awesome on this show? He stole Speidi's hammock, seems to be able to ingest anything, no matter how disgusting, and the second time Speidi quit, someone said "I can't believe they're doing that," and Sanjaya was just like, "I can." I don't know, he had me rolling and rooting for him all night. It was like an out of body experience.
-- "I made that label! It took me all day!" -- Spencer.
-- Every time Heidi cried.
-- And of course, the rest of the cast divvying up Speidi's crap and making fun of them behind their backs when they quit was satisfying and hilarious.
The just plain horrible:
-- Patti Blagojevich soap boxing in defense of her husband was probably a ration of bull, but even if it wasn't I don't care. I don't want to hear about politics on this crap show, spin or not. And Janice and Speidi love Rod Blagojevich and would vote for him for President? What was happening in that scene?
-- Gross eating challenges in general. Obviously, the entire point of this show is that we hate these celebrities so much that we want them tortured, but I think as a nation we need to move past eating tarantulas on television.
-- Speaking of the gross eating challenge, vegans aren't supposed to eat rat tails, John Salley!
-- Spencer's freak out after he realized everybody had messed with their stuff, smacking at half of Frangela and drama queening out was just a little too fake for me. Of course both times they quit was fake, but this was over the top staged. Hated it.
-- "I can't not have sex with you for that long." -- Heidi, to Spencer. Yack.
-- All of Speidi's fake praying. Prayers just aren't really that funny most of the time, and they're pretty boring television, even when they're real. Get a new gimmick, you two!
-- The two hosts smugly making fun of the cast all night. It was like, I get it, you want to be very transparent about how much we hate these people and think they're worthless, but there's really little room for feeling superior when you're the ones hosting this bag of vomit.
Here's some Patti floating down-creek video action:
And some Heidi crying:
And Spencer being a nightmare:
So yeah, this show is awesome! Thoughts?
